Apple has 100% market share of iOS application distribution and therefore has a monopoly on this market. In this position they can freely and arbitrarily govern what is and is not acceptable iOS software as well as how much it costs to produce and distribute iOS software with absolutely no competition that could benefit participants in this market. Allowing Apple to continue exercising absolute power over iOS software distribution does nothing but bolster Apple's revenue and hurt iOS software consumers and producers by limiting options and driving up costs.

Walmart has 100% market share of distribution inside Walmart stores, alert the DoJ.

  They're driving up costs and hurting the consumer by not letting people into their stores to sell their own warez.

  Apple is a country where only Wal-Mart can exist. Nice try.

    That is a compelling analogy but I don’t think it holds because a country you can’t leave. You have to live in a country. Apple is an opt-in thing you choose for yourself and your next purchase can always be an Android.
